There is never enough support from all of the clubs at the State Body Meeting, just from the cities around there. People need to get together from other clubs and carpool to Salina.
Most middle schools don't even start until football has been over for at least a month. If we could get them to understand that 98% of the wrestlers don't play BB, then starting the wrestling season earlier wouldn't be a problem. I agree that 6&u (the biggest division) should be added to kids state, and the kids need to have an opportunity to support the High School and college championships, so maybe another State Tourney for 14&16 is realistic. The only problem with this is the young kids in the programs really enjoy the older kids in the room at the end of the year, but we have to give up something to make gains.
As far as where State is wrestled at, let's take the political votes out of it and put it in the kids hands, the District that places the most kids at State the year before, has bids on State next year!
